Postcolonial Literature

Introduction

Western literature promoted western culture and civilization and helped establish hegemony of
the west in the colonized world. Universality, objectivity, disinterestedness were the slogans that
paved way for the acceptance of western literature as repository of ideal human values. However,
this unquestioned authority of the western texts was destabilized by the postcolonial gaze that
found these texts complicit in the dehumanizing project of colonization.

Objectives

• To introduce key western texts that negotiate with the colonial experience from
different perspectives
• To demonstrate how colonial texts deconstruct themselves betraying their
ideological and political biases
Learning outcome

The students will be able to

• Demonstrate an understanding of literary texts played an important in Orientalizing the

other
• Recover and rehabilitate the ‘other’ from the literary texts
• Develop an indigenous consciousness

• Kim by Rudyard Kipling

• A Passage to India by E M Forster

This course will seek to examine the development and transformation of Critical Theory from

theorizing? We will investigate the aims of critical social theory and the methods appropriate to
